Tundra'd Inclines Toward Starlight - TITS! full moon alpine ride

In order to get out of the floods, we need to seek higher ground. Gettin HIGH at night sounds like the best way.
Plan: Jones Pass as an out and back, maybe a shuttle if we have the logistics, maybe just get a little high. (This all depends on if the road up still exists). Meet at Mammoth lot at 6PM (on Thursday the 19th), lights charged, although I'm hoping the moon provides some good lighting. Get HIGH, and enjoy some frosted barley pops apres bike.

I'm up for adventures, both high and low. Green Mountain is rideable now if the group consensus is to bail on Jones.

I don't think there is enough snow to abort the objective. We can keep an eye on the Berthoud cam above.
The weathergirl says very light showers today, but a clear/calm evening. Full moons happen only, once in a full moon.

Cold was a factor. When we started out I saw 37 on the car thermometer at 12,000 ft, when we finished it had dropped to 32 at 10,000. Over the first several ridges I couldn't feel my toes at all, and I was getting worried that the gloves I'd brought - while windproof - were not going to cut it.

Then it all went away, the core came up to temp, fingers and toes came back, nothing remained but sweet, tacky singletrack, the light of the moon, and amazing views. This was one for the history books, 100%. One of my all time favorite TITS rides.

I consider myself lucky to have met you guys. Who DOES this?

The correct number of bikes one should own is N+1, where N is the number of bikes currently owned.
